NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell vs Lisuan Tech LX MAX Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell and the Lisuan Tech LX MAX occupy different positions in the recorded benchmark database. The RTX PRO 4500 has a full set of nine benchmark results across DirectX 10, 11, 12, 9, compute, and Vulkan workloads. The LX MAX, by contrast, has no recorded benchmark scores in the database, making direct win-count comparisons impossible. The RTX PRO 4500 posts an average benchmark score of 31532, while the LX MAX shows an average score of 0 due to missing data.

The RTX PRO 4500 sits at the 76th percentile among all GPUs, which places it above the midpoint of the database. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA TITAN RTX with an average score of 31676 (0.5% higher), the NVIDIA GRID M60-1Q at 31220 (1% lower), the NVIDIA Quadro M5000 at 31206 (1% lower), and the Intel Arc Pro A30M at 31894 (1.1% higher). These deltas indicate the RTX PRO 4500 lands within a narrow band of competing workstation and prosumer cards. The LX MAX sits at the 50th percentile with no rival data, so its position is defined by the database's default placement rather than measured performance.

For use-case segmentation, the RTX PRO 4500 delivers measurable results in every tested category: its PassMark G3D score of 33360 indicates strong general 3D rendering throughput, while the PassMark GPU compute score of 19255 shows a dedicated compute workload capability. The Geekbench Vulkan score of 221768 reflects substantial cross-platform graphics API performance. The LX MAX has no such data, so any use-case analysis for that card rests on its architectural specifications alone, which are discussed in the next section.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs diverge fundamentally at the silicon level. The RTX PRO 4500 uses the GB203 chip built on a 5 nm process at TSMC, with 45,600 million transistors on a 378 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 120.6 million per square millimeter. The LX MAX uses a 7G106 chip on a 6 nm process, also from TSMC, but its transistor count, die size, and density are recorded as unknown. The RTX PRO 4500 belongs to the Blackwell 2.0 architecture, while the LX MAX employs an architecture labeled TrueGPU, from the 7G100 generation.

Memory configurations differ sharply. The RTX PRO 4500 carries 32 GB of GDDR7 on a 256-bit bus, delivering 896.0 GB/s of bandwidth with a 1750 MHz memory clock and 28 Gbps effective speed. The LX MAX has 12 GB of GDDR6 on a 192-bit bus, providing 432.0 GB/s of bandwidth with a 2250 MHz memory clock and 18 Gbps effective speed. That is a 464 GB/s bandwidth advantage for the NVIDIA card, and a 20 GB capacity advantage.

Compute resources also separate the two. The RTX PRO 4500 contains 10496 shading units, 328 texture mapping units, 112 raster output units, 82 ray tracing cores, and 328 tensor cores. The LX MAX has 6144 shading units, 192 TMUs, and 96 ROPs, with no ray tracing or tensor core data recorded. Pixel rate for the RTX PRO 4500 is 269.6 GPixel/s versus 192.0 GPixel/s for the LX MAX. Texture rate is 789.5 GTexel/s versus 384.0 GTexel/s. FP32 throughput is 50.53 TFLOPS for the NVIDIA card versus 24.58 TFLOPS for the LX MAX. The LX MAX does reach 49.15 TFLOPS in FP16 via a 2:1 ratio, whereas the RTX PRO 4500 delivers 50.53 TFLOPS in FP16 with a 1:1 ratio.

Interface and connectivity also differ: the RTX PRO 4500 uses PCIe 5.0 x16 and outputs four DisplayPort 2.1b connections; the LX MAX uses PCIe 4.0 x16 and four DisplayPort 1.4a connections. Both cards are dual-slot with a single 16-pin power connector and a suggested 550 W power supply. Board dimensions vary: the RTX PRO 4500 measures 267 mm in length, 111 mm in height, and 40 mm in width; the LX MAX measures 248 mm, 118 mm, and 48 mm respectively.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database records no head-to-head benchmark entries between the RTX PRO 4500 and the LX MAX. The wins counters for both cards are zero. However, the RTX PRO 4500's individual benchmark scores provide a baseline for what the NVIDIA card achieves, and the LX MAX's complete absence of scores means no measured comparison can be drawn.

Looking at the RTX PRO 4500's results across its nine tests: 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 scores 7025, Geekbench Vulkan scores 221768, PassMark DirectX 10 scores 204, DirectX 11 scores 320, DirectX 12 scores 119, DirectX 9 scores 397, G2D scores 1336, G3D scores 33360, and GPU compute scores 19255. The G3D result leads the overall average of 31532, while the compute score trails it by roughly 39%. The DirectX 12 score of 119 is notably lower than the DirectX 11 score of 320, indicating that the card's DX12 path in this particular benchmark does not scale as well as its DX11 path.

Relative to its nearest rivals, the RTX PRO 4500's average of 31532 is 0.5% below the NVIDIA TITAN RTX, 1% above the GRID M60-1Q, 1% above the Quadro M5000, and 1.1% below the Intel Arc Pro A30M. These narrow margins place the card in a tight competitive cluster where no single rival dominates by more than about one percent. The largest delta in its favor is the 1% edge over both the GRID M60-1Q and Quadro M5000; the largest deficit is the 1.1% gap to the Arc Pro A30M.

Because the LX MAX has no benchmark entries, the only quantitative comparison available is through the architectural specifications. The RTX PRO 4500's 50.53 TFLOPS FP32 is more than double the LX MAX's 24.58 TFLOPS. The NVIDIA card's 896.0 GB/s bandwidth is 107% higher than the LX MAX's 432.0 GB/s. Pixel rate is 40% higher, and texture rate is 105% higher. Those specification gaps tell the same story as the missing benchmark data: the RTX PRO 4500 is positioned substantially above the LX MAX in raw throughput metrics.

The Verdict

For users selecting between these two cards, the recorded data points overwhelmingly toward the NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell. It has a measured average benchmark score of 31532, sits at the 76th percentile, and competes within 1.1% of four established rivals. The Lisuan Tech LX MAX has no recorded benchmarks, no rival comparisons, and an average score of zero, which places it at the 50th percentile by default rather than by demonstrated performance.

The RTX PRO 4500 also leads on every quantifiable specification where both cards have data. It offers more than double the FP32 throughput (50.53 TFLOPS versus 24.58 TFLOPS), more than double the memory bandwidth (896.0 GB/s versus 432.0 GB/s), and more than double the texture rate (789.5 GTexel/s versus 384.0 GTexel/s). It has 32 GB of GDDR7 versus 12 GB of GDDR6, a 256-bit bus versus 192-bit, and more shading units (10496 versus 6144), TMUs (328 versus 192), and ROPs (112 versus 96). It includes ray tracing cores and tensor cores, which the LX MAX does not list. It uses a newer PCIe 5.0 interface and newer DisplayPort 2.1b outputs.

The LX MAX does hold two specification advantages: its FP16 throughput of 49.15 TFLOPS is close to the RTX PRO 4500's 50.53 TFLOPS, and its 225 W TDP is 25 W higher than the NVIDIA card's 200 W. The higher TDP does not translate into higher performance in the recorded data, since no LX MAX benchmarks exist to verify any benefit. The LX MAX also has a later release date of 2026-03-16 versus 2025-03-17 for the RTX PRO 4500, but that does not compensate for the absence of measured results.

Users who require proven DirectX, Vulkan, and compute performance should select the RTX PRO 4500. Users who need a GPU with a smaller physical footprint and a slightly later release date could consider the LX MAX, but they would do so without any benchmark evidence to support that choice. The data does not support a scenario where the LX MAX is preferable on performance grounds.
